55. You cannot have economic justice without social justice

You cannot have social justice without economic justice. The two are not mutually exclusive. You cannot have one without the other. What the Republicans do or say does not change this. There are no 'tricks' that separate them.

What the Republicans have done is take power away from we the people. They have done so by stealing all the money. Strip economic power from the people and give it to the oligarchy, and the oligarchy become powerful and take control. In order to keep a grip on power, they must quash civil rights. Things like the right to vote and civil rights. They buy elections.

This is how it works in the third world. This is what is happening in the USA.

When Democratic politicians buy into right wing economics, it feeds into the hands of the oligarchy, who become filthy rich at the expense of everyone else. Civil rights erode. Elections get bought. Social justice erodes. This is exactly what is happening now.

You cannot push for social justice while pushing right wing economic policies, because those same policies erode social justice. It is a catch 22, because they are not mutually exclusive.
